My husband has been on low-dose Ketoconazole since July 2008 with very good results. Some doctors feel that Ketoconazole is too toxic but my husband has had very few if any side effects.
I think you are very right to consider trying Keto before moving to chemo or a clinical trial. Perhaps it is time for a second opinion if your doctor will not discuss this option. Good luck.
Diagnosed 08 stage 4. Started on Lupron, then flutomide, tried casodex for 1 month, but will be off of it because psa is still rising. psa at diagnosis 98, current psa is 10.
